Programs

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Abilities Tennis clinics. Abilities Tennis of North Carolina (ATANC) provides tennis programming for athletes with intellectual disabilities ages 8 and up. Volunteers play an important role in making these clinics possible for the athletes.

We will meet on Saturdays from 4:00-5:00 PM at Heritage High School. Volunteers will help on the courts assisting with ball and racquet drills to help teach our athletes the highly adaptive game of tennis. Our athletes range in skill level with some athletes learning how to hold and swing a racquet to hit red-dot starter balls and others playing full court with regular yellow balls.

Coach David Marquina (davidmarquinam@outlook.com) is the head coach. All volunteers must complete a background check through the Town of Wake Forest, which will be sent to volunteers at a later date.

Please plan to arrive ten minutes before the clinic start time so we can all be in place. Wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes and bring water, sunscreen, and a racquet if you have one.
